we've talked about version numbers in regard to making syncing more efficient. this is another way they'd be useful. i think grant's suggestion of examining the last-modified date in combination with the etag is a more interoperable way of doing the same thing, though. yea, time is fuzzy, but for the use we're talking about, etag+last-modified would be sufficient almost every time, i'd think.
If the last-modified values we're comparing are all issued by the same server then it should work as well as a version number. It's comparing client time vs server time that is flaky.
